AMEC, the international engineering and project management company, has appointed Rob Brown as Managing Director of its Environment & Infrastructure Europe business, reporting to John Pearson, AMEC's Group President, Europe.

Mr Brown is a chemical engineer with more than 20 years' management experience in environmental, waste, oil and gas and related industries, most recently with URS and Worley Parsons.

He replaces Philip (Sevvy) Bourne, who has transferred to AMEC's Growth Regions business to spearhead its ambitions in Environment & Infrastructure and Clean Energy markets.

John Pearson, President of AMEC's Europe business, said:

"I am delighted to welcome Rob to AMEC's Europe leadership team. He has proven capability in growing environment and infrastructure services across a range of our target markets and in geographies spanning the UK, Europe and beyond. He brings a strong track record in the oil and gas, petrochemicals and mining sectors, which will complement the balance of skills that we already have in our business."

"I'd also like to thank Sevvy Bourne for his hard work and commitment to Environment & Infrastructure Europe, and his contributions to the wider Europe leadership team. I wish him every success in helping deliver our Growth Regions ambitions."
